rescued puppy photo- what breed is this???

Carolyn-3 · 03-15-2007, 05:09 PM

Hello,
I am considering adopting one of these puppies from a local rescue shelter. Can anyone help me identify what it's mix might be? The shelter does not have information on her breed, she came from a litter of 8 pups, with half of them having doberman markings and half being all black.

Photos of her and some of her littermates are posted here:

I'm trying to get a sense of the breed so I know if it's a good fit for my family.
thank you VERY much, I really appreciate it!!

Looks like Rottweiler to me.

They look like doberman/rottwielers to me. The last picture looked like a lab mix.

I would not take my word for it though I am sure you will get some better guess's from some people that have more knowledge of the different breeds.

I think they are lab/rottie mix. since their body looks like a cross between the two and same with their markings. some with rottie markings some one color like a lab.

looks like Dobie/Lab mix going by size/shape of head and colours of the litter (blacks and bl/tan).....maybe Rottie?

Looks like Rott/lab mix. The last one looks more chocolate lab. They are all very cute!

Definently rottweiler

And probably some lab or other type of hunting dog. Maybe even boxer.

I was thinking rottweiller or doberman until I saw the las picture. They look like maybe a lab mix with dob and/or rottie. They are all so cute though. Hope you pick the right one for you...good luck!!

So I spoke with the shelter manager and she had some additional information on the litter. Turns out the mom was a black lab, and they don't know who the dad was. So KUDOS for calling out the lab mix in her, that's impressive!

She also told me that they photos were taken at 7 weeks when they left their mom, so they're a little younger than I had thought.

Thanks for your help, I'm going to adopt her. I look forward to seeing what she grows into. Whatever mix she ends up being, I'm sure to love her just the same

p.s. the photos were great!
